Collection of 19 comedy sketches (ranging in duration from 4 minutes to 9 minutes). Few set requirements. There are a couple of mild swearwords buried in there somewhere.

Synopsis

Sketches about life, love, work and cream cakes.All of the sketches are available individually. (The collection allows the set to be purchased at a discount to the sum of the individual components.) There is no particular order to the sketches, but there are occasional common themes.

A two act drama, with a one act length, and with a single (art gallery) set.

Synopsis

Mature art student Dorothy surprises Pete in the art gallery, confusing him for her tour guide. For his own reasons he goes along with Dorothy's mistaken belief that he is a professor of art. The whole experience enriches them both.

Full-length drama, adapted from the novel of Louisa May Alcott, set in the 1860s, in a single composite set.

Synopsis

A faithful adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic novel, following a mother and her daughters during the American Civil War. With their father away in the war, the four sisters must support the household at the same time as they each deal with the transition to adulthood.

Full-length farcical comedy. Multiple sets (to be changed quickly via backdrops). Divided into five acts - indicating the phases of the story, rather than places for audience breaks! (Contains one unsavoury throw-away line!)

Synopsis

The town of Taviscombe is a quiet, peaceful hamlet, however this leaves the local newspaper and police force without much to do. To try and combat their boredom and get themselves recognised on a national level, both organisations independently plan a robbery. Unfortunately the fool-proof schemes they come up with are identical, leading to a great deal of confusion and the disappearance of the money they were targeting.

Marina seems very happy with the whirlwind romance and marriage to the much older Lawrence, but then she falls ill and her friends are concerned. Is Lawrence trying to drive them away? Is his stepson right about the death of his last wife? And ultimately, who is being conned by who?

Set in Germany in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, and in the present day, with rapid changes implying minimal sets, but some large props (hospital bed) and some pyro effects.

Synopsis

For Alan, the memories of hospitalisation after World War II are more real than his current stay in hospital, to the distress of his family, but his flashbacks eventually explain the loss of his closest friendship. The play uses the unravelling of the mystery of a broken friendship to explore the nature of memory and its impact on behaviour.

Full-length period comedy adapted from the short story by Oscar Wilde. Single drawing-room set and plenty of Wildean wit.

Synopsis

Lord Arthur gets himself in a tangle, postponing his wedding to Sybil so as to concentrate on his plot to murder his rich aunt from whom he is to inherit the family fortune. Unfortunately, his aunt dies a natural death, and Lord Arthur must again postpone his wedding, not least so that he can retrieve the poison capsule he had intended for his aunt. His inept murderous career continues with yet another wedding postponement for his ultimately and inevitably failed attempt to construct an exploding carriage clock to get rid of the Dean of Chichester. Of course, there's a happy ending, but which would you prefer - a murder, or a wedding?

Suggested songs (titles only) are embedded in the script. These are intended to be played by the on-stage band. Lazy Bee Scripts does not supply any sheet music with this script.

Style

Full-length comedy play. Single set (with various locations within a wedding reception indicated by lighting and set dressing). Contains mild swearing.

Synopsis

Nine wedding guests are the victims of a really bad seating plan. They try to get along, then one suggests they chip in to buy a lottery ticket. When they win all their masks slip away to reveal who they really are. The poor maitre d' tries to keep the reception on track but in the end he can only watch as relationships unravel.
